It is very interesting, that you says about 6000 years ago. It is "calculated" (in the middle ages) age of The Great Flood.

I've read some opinion, that modern European historians, even atheist ones, still "primed" by this number and it skews all our understanding of history and perception of archaeological finds. It is not some random number, but legacy of pre-Renaissance Biblical studies, haunting us to these modern times.

What moderne European historians are you talking about?

We know of cities 9000 years old.

And we know about sculptures 24000 years old, but still it is seen as exceptions by many.
